Whenever I reach an excess speed of 40+ and take my foot off the gas the car rocks back and forth uncontrollable. I am a mother of four and the is a very terrifying experience for both me and my children.

Pathfinder 6-cyl

I just purchased this vehicle less than 2 weeks ago, on July 2nd while driving down the road I came upon a few slight rough spots in the road, this suddenly caused the vehicle to sway back and forth violently, as if someone way rocking a boat of jerking the steering wheel back and forth, after applying the brakes it stopped for a bit until more rough spots in the road or if speeding up or slowing down caused the same problem, I had my grand kids in the back seat at the time, it scared us all to pieces, because I just bought this vehicle I need it, has Nissan called a recall on this problem" I'm seeing many, many more people online with the same problem with the same year and make as mine" this is dangerous and needs to be addressed by a professional Nissan mechanic, I need instruction's on how to go about rectifying the problem.
